I really want to stay on top of things this week, as there are a lot of appointments, so I am meal planning to make sure nothing gets away from me. I have two things in the freezer that I want to use up, which are a ravioli lasagna and a meatloaf that I made up when I was batch cooking in the past. I do have to check that they are good first, but if they aren't, I will just make fresh ones for dinners this week.
I will figure out breakfasts and lunches, but they tend to be repeats and we all kind of grab what is in the freezer, because I batch cook breakfast burritos and egg sandwiches, or eat cereal. I will probably also pick at the chicken that doesn't go in Tuesday's soup for my lunches. Most of the days will be gluten free, but not all of them. While I can make gluten free pizza, it takes a couple more hours to make the dough than regular and I don't want to take that much time. I'm pretty sure I have all the ingredients in the house and shouldn't have to set foot in the grocery store this week. It would be nice to buy some fresh thyme for the chicken soup, though. Nice, but unnecessary when I have dried. As usual, order is subject to scrambling due to the whims of the cook (me).
Monday: Instant Pot Chicken cooked underwater to make broth, roasted fresh root vegetables and zucchini (frozen), apples
Tuesday: Chicken noodle (gluten free) soup with celery, and leftover roasted root vegetables, toasted bagles with goat cheese, and salad
Wednesday: Meatloaf, fried home canned potatoes with frozen onions and bell peppers, home grown home canned green beans (2019), canned pineapple
Thursday: Ravioli lasagna or regular salad, pull apart garlic bread, home canned pears
Friday: Homemade Pizza with sausage, ham, pepperoni, ground beef red and yellow onion, zucchini, frozen bell peppers, mozzarella, homemade low sodium pizza sauce. I will make my own individual little pizza that is mostly veggies, has less cheese, and has a small amount of meat on it and just seasoned ground beef so it doesn't have salt in it. I might even do a cauliflower crust pizza. Salad and home canned nectarines to go with.
Saturday: Leftovers
Sunday: Beef chuck roast, baked potatoes, green beans, oranges
